How UAE Corporate Tax registration works

The Federal Tax Authority registers businesses through EmaraTax — we guide you through every mandatory step.

  1. Gather required documents

    Valid trade licence, incorporation or partnership papers, Emirates ID and passport for owners with 25%+ stake, plus signatory authorisation proof.

  2. Create EmaraTax profile

    Access the FTA EmaraTax portal and set up a Taxable Person profile for your entity before starting the registration application.

  3. Complete the CT application

    Enter entity type, corporate tax period, licence details, business activities, ownership structure, branches and contact information.

  4. Assign signatory & submit

    Appoint the authorised signatory, upload supporting PDFs, review the declaration and submit the application to the FTA for processing.

  5. Receive your TRN

    The FTA typically processes completed applications within 20 business days and issues your Corporate Tax Registration Number.

Corporate Tax questions answered

Clear answers to the most common UAE Corporate Tax registration and filing questions businesses ask us every day.

Who must register for UAE Corporate Tax?

Mainland and free zone companies, foreign entities with a UAE permanent establishment or nexus, and natural persons conducting business in the UAE whose annual revenue exceeds AED 1 million must register. Registration is required even if no tax is ultimately payable.

Do free zone companies need to register?

Yes. All free zone persons must register with the FTA and obtain a TRN. Qualifying Free Zone Persons may pay 0% on qualifying income, but registration and annual filing obligations still apply.

What are the UAE corporate tax rates?

Taxable income up to AED 375,000 is taxed at 0%. Income above that threshold is taxed at 9%, under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022. Additional reliefs may apply for qualifying businesses.

When is the Corporate Tax registration deadline?

Deadlines depend on your entity type and licence date. Entities incorporated from 1 March 2024 must apply within 3 months of incorporation. Other businesses follow the timelines in FTA Decision No. 3 of 2024.

How do I register for Corporate Tax?

Registration is submitted through the FTA EmaraTax portal. You create a Taxable Person profile, complete the Corporate Tax application, upload supporting documents and submit for FTA review. A TRN is issued once approved.

What is a TRN?

A Tax Registration Number (TRN) is your official Corporate Tax identifier with the Federal Tax Authority. It is required for filing returns, making payments and all future correspondence with the FTA.

When must I file my Corporate Tax return?

You must file a Corporate Tax return for each tax period within 9 months of your financial year end. Any tax due must generally be paid by the same deadline through EmaraTax.

What is Small Business Relief (SBR)?

Small Business Relief may apply to resident taxable persons with revenue of AED 3 million or less in the current and relevant prior periods. It is elected on the tax return — it is not automatic. You must still register and file even if eligible.

What is the penalty for late registration?

The FTA may impose an administrative penalty of AED 10,000 for failing to register within the prescribed deadline. The penalty applies to late applications — not to delays in receiving your TRN after submission.

Do freelancers and sole proprietors need to register?

Natural persons must register if UAE business revenue exceeds AED 1 million in a calendar year. Employment salary, personal investment income and qualifying real estate income are excluded from this threshold.

What documents are needed for registration?

Typically a valid trade licence, incorporation or partnership documents, Emirates ID and passport copies for owners with 25%+ stake, authorised signatory details and proof of authorisation. All uploads must be in PDF format (max 15 MB per file).

Does HHB issue my Corporate Tax registration?

No. HHB is a licensed private consultancy — we are not a government authority. Corporate Tax registrations and TRNs are issued only by the Federal Tax Authority. We prepare, review and submit applications on your behalf.
